This Monday, a hearing was held to review precautionary measures in which Cathy Barriga, together with her lawyer Cristóbal Bonanic, attempted to modify the total house arrest issued in January once morest the former mayor of Maipú as she was charged with the crimes of tax fraud. and falsification of public instrument.
In the instance they sought to change total house arrest to night house arrest. However, the court decided to maintain the measure once morest Barriga.
According Thirdthe lawyer argued the request by pointing out that the Prosecutor’s Office does not have complete certainty of the crimes that are charged, because the procedures to prove said crimes are just being requested.
“The Public Ministry is now just investigating, ordering diligence aimed at supposedly establishing this deficit that we say does not exist, and if it exists it obviously does not respond to any illegal situation, but, on the contrary, it was always for the benefit, in favor of the community,” he said.
In any case, the court did agree to another of the former mayor’s requests: permission to take her son to therapy every Friday. This request had already been made explicit on previous occasions, but had not been accepted.
Barriga told the aforementioned media that he respects the decision not to reverse the total house arrest. “I am with my children. The most important thing for me was to have the therapies that had been suspended for almost four months for my youngest son. And finally, well, I hope this develops as quickly as possible,” she said.
And he added: “I think people are also very clear regarding how all this works. And nothing, I leave calm, I leave happy anyway, because I will be able to take my little one to therapy.”
